Now tH AmsRica.—The renewal of our commercial intercourse with this country has 
assumed that appearance of vigour which might naturally be looked for after the tedious 
interruption which it has experienced. The ports of Loncon and Liverpool, of the latter 
especially, are thronged with American vessels ; and of course, till some part of their car= 
goes is disposed of, the produce of the United States must be considered in the light of 2 
drug. Ashes are a little enquired affer; the prices of the day are for pot, 21. 7s. to 3l. 6s. 5

Horranp.—All trade between Great Britain and this devoted country is completely put 
a stop to by the rigorous execution of the French emperor’s anti-commercial decrees. It is 
even reported that the captains and part of the crews of two vessels were shot for violating 
the prohibition. ' The colonial produce under sequstration at Antwerp and the annexed pro- 
vinces, as well as those of Holland, that are in danger of being so, is p!aced at the disposal 
of ‘he proprietors. It is allowéd to Le imported into France on paying an ad valorum duty of 
ae per cent.F ; 
Prussta —Money is so extremely scarce in the Prussian ports, that the merchants can 
with difficulty collect sufficient to defray the import duties, and interest is represented to be. 
at the extravagant rate of 24 per cent. per_month. 
~  Swepen.—By the advices from Stralsund, it appears that the severities against commerce 
at that port, at ‘the instigation of France, are to be carried to their utmost extent, and that 
American and British property is to be exposed to equal rigour. 
LrELAND.—We lament to state that, instead of this feature of our report presenting any 
thing like melioration in the commercial affatrs of, the sister kingdom, it this montli exhibits 
a series of mercantile mishaps unexampled in the annals of commerce. There is scarcely a 
trader of any description, whether merchant or manufacturer, who has not felt the sad effects 
of the failures on our side of the water. The provision trade is in the most deplorable state ; 
and as to the waollen manufacturers of the Liberty of Dublin, they are actually in want of 
the common necessaries of life: all this is attributed to the Union; and, we must own, with 
some semblance of justice. Ireland is drained of Lords and Commoners—of noblemen and. 
gentlemen. Towhom, then, are shopkeepersto look for support ?—-To whom are the siik 
and woollen manufacturers of the Liberty to apply for encouragement ? The merchants and 
opulent residents of Dublin, and the other principal citics and towns of Ireland, are few, and 
the consumption of what are vulgarly denominated luxuries, is not by one-tenth as great as it 
was prior tothe Union. Is+ country, for which Nature has done so much, doomed to be the 
everlasting plaything of prejudice—the butt of unceasing oppression ? -
